All speculation, but video calls is very high on my list.
Guys, this is NOT 3G video calling but video streaming over 3G which is IM protocol specific!

The biggest thing for MMS (I think) is that it's instant. Yes, there is email: but only people with email on their phones will get it instant. Yes, there is facebook - but sometimes I don't want to upload a photo to the world and then have to go mess with permissions on "who" I want to see it... and again: only those with facebook get it instant.

With MMS it goes right from my phone to theirs.. and they get it. Even if their in the middle of a meeting . And on the US side.. this isn't as expensive as it seems the UK side is. It's usually included in most things now-a-days.. all my friends unlimited messaging, SMS+MMS. Plus, since it's supported on even the silly non smart-phones it's more or less "universal" in a sense.

Not really a huge deal one way or the other IMHO.. but why people seem adamant that the N900 doesn't get it is kind of baffling. If you don't use it, don't use.. whats the big deal? Other people do. :shrug:

Good grief, could someone finally have realised what Nokia have been saying all along? N900 was biled as for tech enthusiasts and early adopters.

The source is amplified so a weak source won't sound as loud, that same for any device.

MMS is not guarranteed instant even though it often arrives qu, it's based on SMS technology which is also the same. It is also not guarranteed delivery, again unusual to not happen but not guarranteed.

Please read the post before suggesting that I made a 'big deal'. I know we don't both speak the same language but surely it's close enough!

And it is still not implemented. Mind you, I don't mind being wrong about names, labels and protocols; however semantics simply will not solve what's not there at this very moment.

That's me looking at it as a consumer. I'll look at it as a programmer when it's either done, a proof of concept comes from Nokia and is stable, or there is a community effort behind it.

But right now, the community seems to be concentrating on other things... which is fine.

Nono.. I wasn't referring to you. I apologize. I meant this thread and some of the comments I've seen around. Not you in particular.

You and I were just having a small side discussion.
